FRSC Prohibits Officers from Political Escort Duties
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has issued a directive barring its personnel from leading political convoys or providing escort services to politicians during the campaigns for the 2027 general elections. This directive, announced by Zonal Commanding Officer, RS6, Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) Abimbola Owolabi, during her visit to the Cross River State Command in Calabar, prohibits the use of FRSC patrol vehicles and sirens for political activities.
Owolabi emphasized that official vehicles must not be used for unauthorized purposes, including political activities, weddings, and funeral processions. However, she clarified that FRSC personnel could be deployed to campaign venues solely for traffic management and road safety duties.
The directive aims to limit the role of FRSC personnel at political campaigns to controlling traffic and preventing road crashes. Additionally, Owolabi urged officers to enhance public awareness on road safety and warned against extortion and corruption, which could undermine public confidence in the Corps.
